A double barrel pistol for coments

[fernando]

I have filed this as a hunting pistol, somehow because i wouldn't know what else to call it.
The date would be XIX century; i think you folks agree ?
I ignore its country of origin ... what do you say ... somewhere in Europe?
I don't think this is a factory piece, but instead a private production. Some of the fittings and the irregular barrels drilling make it look a bit rustic to me. Actually there is a one milimeter difference between the two bores.
Two interesting points i am raising:
Firstly, there is only one trigger for the two hammers, which denotes some sofistication in the action, specially for a locally made pistol ... am i right ?
Secondly, those two rods between the barrels, one in each side; what the hell are they for ? Note that they are loose, in that they can be turned around, but they can not be taken out their places. Note also that the barrels are not welded to eachother; we can actually see through a slight gap between them.
If this were a gun with a more technical aspect, we could think of some fantasy like the rods being for avoiding some kind of vibration, or other type of advanced reason.
It's just that it is very hard to accept that these 'loose locked' rods are just there for decoration .
There is a minuscle mark on the barrel side, which might be the maker's mark, but i am not certain.
Coments will be apreciated ... and not necessarily plausible coments
